Files for a quantized version of Mistra=

ChatGPT can assist people during their = technical interviews. An experiment on how much the tool can help and how e= asy it is to cheat uncovered an urgent need for companies to immediately ch= ange the types of interview questions they're asking. Interviewees in the s= tudy were able to trick professional interviewers and pass interviews witho=
ut the interviewers suspecting them of cheating. Not only were interviewees=
not caught cheating, the interviewers also rated their confidence in their=
hiring decisions as high.
